Perhaps Springdale needs it own 4yr college with a football program in order to ensure their kids are treated properly. At least they don’t have to deal with that Nutt anymore, unless you count the annual beat down the SEC mandates.

knoxville… it is starting to feel like picking on the short bus riders. can’t wait for the “Vandy is our real rival” statements to start.

Detroit has two first round selections. They can address LT at #20 with Oher (potentially) and still get their qb at #1 with Stafford. If they take LT Jason Smith at #1, who are they getting at #20? Josh Freeman? I humbly submit that the difference between Stafford and Freeman is far greater than the difference between Oher and Smith.

To me, Freeman has bust written all over him. He’s the typical “measurables” guy. He’s not a winner (his teams went 5-7 each of the last two years), and his stats are not eye-popping (58.6% comp, 2945 yards, 20/8 TD/INT last year). Actually, that completion percentage is buoyed by four games in which he completed 75% or more versus North Texas, Montana State, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Texas A&M (how far have the Aggies fallen to be included with this group?). He didn’t complete 60% of his passes in any of the other eight games of the season, including 3 sub-50% games against notable defenses Texas Tech, Colorado, and Nebraska. But, he’s 6’6″ 250, which, apparently makes you a first rounder.

Sen to which comment on the article a/b Stafford are you referring? The “oldest” comment is what i would think you meant by “first” comment, but that was a/b drafting Jason Smith as a safer pick. I guess i missed the comment you’re referencing.

How is Pat White’s number not getting retired? He will go down as the best football player to have ever attended West Virginia (or at least the most decorated). He led the team during its best run in school history. What does the guy have to do?

Quote Of The Day

“Being a student at Georgia and playing ball, I’ve definitely grown, widened my horizons and experienced things I never thought I would. I feel like I’ve grown on and off the field, and the university prepared me for that. I’ve done some awesome things and met some awesome people. I’ll definitely be back to finish my schoolwork, because that was a big priority for me and my family and weighed heavily on my decision. I know football won’t last forever. It’ll be great to come back and get that degree, so I can tell my kids about it one day.” — Roquan Smith, AJ-C, 3/7/18
